This old fashioned goulash recipe is hearty and comforting. It's full of juicy beef, melty cheese, and a rich tomato sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound elbow macaroni
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 (15 oz) cans tomato sauce
  • 2 (14.5 oz) cans petit diced tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. 2

    Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook macaroni for 3 minutes less than the box directions, then drain. 

  3. 3

    Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add ground beef and onions to the pan. Break beef apart, cooking for 6-7 minutes until browned. Drain any fat.  

  4. 4

    Mix in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. 

  5. 5

    Add in Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes. Mix until combined.  

  6. 6

    Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

  7. 7

    Mix in cooked macaroni and cheddar cheese. If your skillet is heat-safe, you can place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the goulash is bubbly and the cheese is melted.  If the skillet is not heat-safe, transfer the goulash to a casserole dish and bake.
